Celtic vs Hearts Scottish Cup Final kick-off time revealed as SFA release details

Hearts have learned the kick-off time of their Scottish Cup Final against Celtic.

The SFA confirmed the Hampden clash will go ahead at 2.15pm on Sunday, December 20.

That means the conventional 3pm slot will not be used as the two sides go head-to-head for the coveted piece of silverware as last season's competition finally comes to a conclusion, after it was delayed due to the pandemic.

Celtic reached their eighth domestic final on the spin as they beat Aberdeen 2-0 before the international break and will be looking to make it a quadruple treble if they manage to dispatch the Jambos.

The Tynecastle side upset their city rivals with a 2-1 victory in extra time to set up a rematch of the 2018 final with the Hoops.

Hearts narrowly missed out on that occasion despite going ahead thanks to Ryan Edwards as Celtic mounted a comeback for it to finish 2-1.

But Robbie Neilson's men will be hoping to go one steo further this time round, but face a tall order as the Premiership champions continue to dominate on the domestic front.
